John Deere

Tested the design on 6R.
Like the assembly, as it doesnt do hardly any harm to the steering column.
Also possibility to guide the cables trough the made “slots” into the steering column.
Looks clean.

Printed the motor gear falsely in petg not in tpu.
So did go the long way and redesigned the gears. Straight spur gears.

Adapts 1:1 to bricbrics design.
Printed with 100% infill in petg.
Hardly recommend the design with Phidgets motor.
At 24V runs very smooth in my opinion.
Feel free to give it a go if you like.

Greetings.
Thanks to bricbric.

^ Nice, do you have the drawing file for this? I’d like to adapt it to the Versatile / Steiger steering wheel

Uploaded the drawings.
If you plan to redesign them (bigger / smaller diameters) i highly recommend creating new ones with the spur gear addon of fusion360.

I ended up modifying it in sketchup before seeing this post, left the gear the same but changed the layout of the mounts. Thanks

Looks really nice! So you did all the parts from 3d printed petg, no laser-cut stainless steel?
This should also fit for a JD 6120R (2017), right? Do you have your own 3d printer, or where did you order the parts?
Is there any difference between Phidgets 3269_3 and _2? Do they both fit into this setup? Do you know this website (https://www.dmmltdb.com/phidgets-32693-getriebemotor-24v-51kgcm-588rpm-4251-dc-getriebemotor-p-778896.htm)? Looks very cheap with no shipping costs for me, but I dont find anything about the website, doesn’t look quite trustworthy to me…

All PETG except the baseplate which is screwd to the steering column as seen in the video of @bricbric. Plate is steel. Printed it on my Artillery Genius. Came out pretty decent. There are also other good ones as well.

Should fit in all 6Rs and 6030P / 7430 / 7530 models.
6M models do have the older design of steering columns.

I redesigned only the back part of the machanism otherwise it wont hold up when 3d printed.

Its not perfect. Its on my list to redo it, but i can upload it if there is interest.
Bought the motor from autosteer.cc. Price is fine there.
Website from your post seems dubious.

Greetings.

Many thanks. Keep us updated if you have news. Great work. Best regards.

Few month pas and i improve my original concept to add more adjustement

The original system is keeping but now we can adjust the height or the angle to be more compatible
A slot for the switch is created

Because a lot of request to get printing version, i do two versions according imperial 10-24 or metric M5 screw ( require gear )
or if you like steel version you can get it to do laser cut

It is compatible with motor Phildget 3269 or MFA como drill 986D41 (Rs, gotronic , farnel…)

You can dowload here Files for clutch
This files included JD6030P or JD R solution but can be used to ther model of tractor or combine

you can dowload the steering gear to do friction type with steel or gear type with full3D printing

even if it is not the topic i already adapt to other tractor or combine (claas, mc cormick) by keeping the similar concept just need a bracket


Soon i wil post my solution of bracket for jd 00,10 … series by using this universal clutch

I give some update to meet John deere with 6*00,6*10… 6M with similar steering collone

So you can dowload bracket files , the steering gear and the clutch mecanism

also as requested :

I update the clutch mecanism:
to print in 3D or metal sheet cut
to meet metric (M5) or imperial bolt

Thanks for other user guys that i know @Mueller , @lolo85 @CHARBONNAUD and other that i dont know that they make on John Deere tractor or other brand :yum:

I’m looking for maybe some files for brackets that would be able to go on a 6000-, 6010-, 7000- or 7010-series steering column. A friend of mine would like to start with AgOpen and hes got 7800.

Like it is shown in @Mueller video.

Love the simplicity!

Maybe someone knows how to reach out to Sven Mayer? Tried to get into contact via commenting under his video, but maybe he hasnt noticed it till now.

Kind regards.

Afternoon. Ive been looking at this with some interest. Would something like this fit on a 6930 easily. And are the files to make it easily avaible? As im not overly tec savvy when it comes to things like files etc. Thanks in advance

Welcome😃
Try the magnifying glass at top right.
Type something like john deere 69 and you get 14 answers.
A lot is about hydraulic steering but sone might be with gears and motor.
Oh forgot to tell, that pictures inside posts posted about two years ago and before are gone forever, because forum was moved.

if you like Steel parts i have solution
i have 3d printing solution also

also tell us witch model you have basic or premium

I have a 6930 standard. Would the steel parts last longer or be less liable to get damaged im guessing rather than a 3d printed one.

I replaced the gear with the universal gear. But keept the clutch. This is on a 6230 Premium.
The teeth in this solution was too smal in my opinion, tried them but they just wear out
